Remarks
Most methods in this class map directly to one of the packet types described in draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13.txt.
Error handling: the methods of this class throw IOExceptions. However, unless there is catastrophic failure, exceptions of the type SftpException will be thrown (a subclass of IOException). Therefore, you can implement more verbose behavior by checking if a thrown exception if of the type SftpException. If yes, then you access detailed information about the failure.
Important notes about file names, directory names and paths:
- SFTP v3 represents file names as strings. File names are assumed to use the slash ('/') character as a directory separator.
- File names starting with a slash are "absolute", and are relative to the root of the file system. Names starting with any other character are relative to the user's working directory.
- The Sftp component always uses absolute paths when communicating with the server. As a convenience to the user, the WorkingDirectory is populated after connecting, and is used whenever a relative path is provided, to construct an absolute path for communications.
- An empty path name is valid, and it refers to the user's working directory (usually the user's home directory).
